The winds will be felt all along the local coastline with strong, gusty winds reaching over 40 mph forecasted.

Firefighters and utility crews were alerted to a downed power line on Cottonwood Avenue around 10:45 a.m.

More than 2,000 SDG&E customers were affected by an outage reported in the same area according to the utility's website. The estimated time of repair is listed as 1:30 p.m.

“When all is said and done, we may get more than an inch of rain at the coast this weekend, and the numbers increase the farther east you go,” said meteorologist Greg Bledsoe.

Don’t expect to be back to sunshine Monday morning. Showers should continue Monday morning and the mountains and deserts will see wind gusts through the day Monday according to the National Weather Service.

As happens in most winter storms, there’s an advisory for the coastal waters from the Department of Environmental Health.

Swimmers, surfers, and other ocean users are warned that levels of bacteria can rise significantly and so activities such as swimming, surfing and diving should be avoided for 72 hours following rain.
